Our classification, not the publisher's statement. Best suited for, not only for.

Gilat Satellite Networks demonstrated 3GPP-compliant 5G Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) connectivity over a Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellite, a result that illustrated how 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) can complement terrestrial networks by providing ubiquitous connectivity where traditional cellular coverage was unavailable or impractical.

The demonstration validated standardized VSAT and Hub technologies for satellite operators and Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and showed delivery of end-to-end standardized 5G NTN services over existing Geostationary Orbit (GEO) satellite infrastructure.

Testing confirmed key operational capabilities needed for GEO operation, including 5G NTN VSAT and Hub technologies, latency compensation and protocol optimizations, which addressed a primary technical challenge for 5G NTN over GEO satellites.

The work used existing GEO infrastructure to deliver end-to-end performance for standardized 5G NTN services, and the company outlined plans for further trials, ecosystem partnerships and commercial solutions across GEO and non-GEO satellite environments.

“Our vision is to implement 3GPP standards for GEO, MEO and LEO orbits,” said Aharon Mullokandov, Chief Research and Development (R&D) Officer at Gilat. “Satellite operators and mobile network operators will be able to expand coverage, improve resilience, and accelerate service deployment. Gilat continues to advance its 5G NTN roadmap with further trials, ecosystem partnerships, and commercial solutions across GEO and non-GEO satellite environments.”

The release noted that certain statements were forward-looking, described factors that could cause actual results to differ from those statements, and stated the company did not undertake an obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements.
